The Four Cs

Diamond Rarity

Diamond

At Helzberg Diamonds, we pride ourselves on having extremely strict standards for diamond quality - especially when it comes to the cut of our diamonds. We stand behind every diamond that goes into every piece of our jewelry, ensuring that it lives up to the standards we have upheld since 1915.

The basics of diamonds has always come down to the 4Cs - cut, color, clarity and carat weight.

Cut: The cut of a diamond affects how well a diamond returns light back to the viewer's eye. A well cut diamond will appear brilliant and fiery.

Color: A diamond's color is a measure of the stone's whiteness, meaning it is actually measuring the lack of color a diamond has.

Clarity: The clarity of a diamond refers to the presence (or lack) of imperfections. Generally, the more imperfections (or inclusions) a diamond has, the lower the clarity.

Carat Weight: A carat specifically measures a diamond's weight. Because of its rarity, one larger diamond is more valuable than a combination of smaller diamonds.

This band works perfectly with my engagement ring (item # 1688793). Beautiful as a set!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Lysa Love the look but am not happy
My husband and I went out to pick out wedding bands and I picked out this band because I have VERY small fingers and hands. This ring sparkled and did not take up my entire finger. For the most part I love the ring but I am about to go back to get 2 diamonds replaced for the 3rd time!! Thank goodness I have the insurance plan on the ring!!! I have not hit the ring on anything and I have not forgotten to get the ring inspected!! I am very upset that the ring I picked for my marriage is always being sent away to be fixed. I have only had it for 2 years!!! As much as it hurts, my husband and I are considering getting me another ring even though I love the look of this one!

I wanted a thin band to add next to an amethyst stone set in three rows of diamonds. It matches perfectly. It has lots of sparkle and shine and I now have a wide band ring. Shopped many stores, compared diamond carat, color, cut, and price. This ring beat the competition in all areas. Love it!

My husband and I just celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary and he purchased two of these bands to go on either side of my solitare ring that has a wide band in gold. Let me say the picture does not do it justice there is so much sparkle! my ring looks like it cost a fortune! It means the world to me.

We picked this ring as my wedding band, since the engagement ring we purchased from Helzberg didn't have a matching one. Its so sparkly and dainty. They go wonderfully together! How lucky I am to have my beautiful Helzberg rings and my new husband Matthew!
